Pic of the Day (5/30/09)

If you cant tell, Sanna is underneath our glass coffee table. There is about a 10" clearance. Fun.

Video and Pic Fun


We put this apparatus next to the couch to stop Sanna from getting behind the couch. I guess it worked. She stopped after she got inside it.


Typical Riley

The Perfect Storm of Poop


This story is extremely graphic, so the faint of heart should turn away now.  The following events are completely true.   Over the past couple weeks Sanna has gotten quite mobile.  Her favorite thing now is to stand by herself or pull up on any reachable surface.  Also over the last couple weeks Sanna has gotten a bit of a rash just above her booty.  She scratches it now and again.  It is almost gone, but not quite all the way.  We have started eating real food recently, mostly fruit.  The result has been some less than solid poo.  That is the back story that will make the following events seem far more plausible.  Also, I should note that Laurin really likes Regis and Kelly.  So, this morning I was taking care of some things downstairs while Laurin watched the girls upstairs.  They had already eaten their solids and bottles for the morning which means the digestive system should be creating some fun soon.  When I walked back upstairs, the first thing I see is Sanna standing next to the couch with what looks like pudding smeared all over the couch, her face, and her back.  I quickly came to the sad realization that it was not in fact pudding, but poo.  She had created a very liquid blowout, which was made worse by her reaching her hands in her diaper to scratch her butt, putting them back on the couch to balancer herself and then in her mouth for good measure.  I let out a very manly scream/curse to alert Laurin, who was hypnotized by the geriatric charms of Regis Philbin.  All this had happened about 4 feet from her comfortably rested head on the couch.  So, Laurin grabbed Sanna and began to use wipes to remove the excrement from her hands, eyes, mouth, back, and ears most likely.  I ran downstairs and lugged the steam cleaner up three flights of stairs to get to work.  My steam cleaning skills being unmatched, there should be no sign there was ever such a debacle.   Pictures of this event would surely violate the terms of service on blogger, so I leave you with a pic of Sanna from today before the event.

Pic of the Day


After too many rolls of crap, I think I may have finally figured out the old 35mm manual camera. This entire roll was pretty good, and can be seen in flickr.

Wacky Wednesday

Here I give you possibly the best 'Pic of the Day' ever along with Riley's first crawling video. Enjoy!





Cuteness Explosion

We had our photo consultation today, and the results are glorious. Empty your bladders and ready a box of Kleenex. You are either going to weep, or pee yourself from all the cuteness. In an attempt to be depicted in a positive light, our consultationista Katie bribed us with cupcakes. She dealt with my attempts at comedy as well as my demands on her photo software well. The results can be seen at www.littlelivesphotography.com. Click on the link to enter the site, not the blog. Then, click 'clients' at the top. The password is smith. If anyone wants to acquire photos, let me know. Apparently they wont photoshop babies, even really pudgy ones, so dont ask.

Riley is Crawling!!

Video to come. Its gonna get crazy up in here.
